For most founders, growth is shaped by moments of proximity. The right conversation, the right introduction, the right context at the right time. Global summits can promise this, yet only a few consistently bring together the people, ideas and intent that move companies forward. Dublin Tech Summit sits firmly in that category.
On 27–28 May 2026 at the RDS in Dublin, the summit will bring together over 8,000 attendees, hundreds of speakers and representation from more than 70 countries, creating a dense, high-signal environment where founders engage directly with the global tech landscape . The scale is significant, and so is the calibre of people in the room and the conversations that follow. For founders, this means access to decision-makers, potential partners and investors, with opportunities to build relationships that can extend beyond the event itself.
Why this matters for Techscaler founders
At Techscaler's core is the belief that access changes outcomes. Access to networks, to capital, to experience, to markets. Dublin Tech Summit offers all of these in one place, and it does so in a way that reflects how founders actually operate. Conversations move quickly and momentum builds across two days, giving founders the chance to test ideas, refine positioning and open doors that are often difficult to access remotely.
The introduction of the Startup Village this year sharpens that further. Designed as a dedicated space for entrepreneurship and high-growth companies, it brings founders, investors, accelerators and ecosystem leaders into a single environment focused on scaling businesses. It is structured around access, whether that is through workshops, direct engagement with decision-makers or exposure to peers navigating similar stages of growth.
For a founder, attending Dublin Tech Summit places your company within a market-facing environment where you are seen alongside other businesses building traction and exploring growth opportunities.
Exposure that compounds
The value of Dublin Tech Summit sits across multiple layers. There is the immediate exposure through the exhibition space, the visibility within a global audience and the ability to engage directly with founders, corporates and investors. There is also the depth of content, spanning AI, deep tech, quantum computing, digital transformation and the future of work, which reflects where markets are heading and where opportunities are emerging.
Alongside this, the Accelerate programme brings an additional layer of relevance for startups and scaleups looking to grow internationally. It creates a structured space within the summit for companies to engage with investors, customers and partners, while positioning themselves within European and global markets.
Beyond that, there is the network that continues after the event. Relationships formed in these environments rarely end when the event does. They develop into follow-on conversations, partnerships and, in some cases, investment.
For founders already building momentum, this becomes a way to extend that trajectory into new markets and investor conversations. We are particularly looking for companies preparing to raise in the next 6 to 12 months or exploring international expansion beyond the UK.
What the experience would look like
CodeBase will be present at Dublin Tech Summit as an active ecosystem architect, supporting Techscaler companies to engage with the wider event. Through Techscaler, selected member companies will receive access to the summit through a limited number of free tickets which otherwise cost €445 excluding VAT.
This is designed for founders who are ready to use the environment to level up to the next stage. Companies with a clear growth trajectory, an international mindset, and a focus on building investor relationships will gain the most from being in the room.
There is also an opportunity to take this further through the Accelerate programme, including the option to exhibit at a discounted rate. For companies looking to increase visibility and actively engage with investors and customers, this provides a more direct way to position themselves within the summit.
For those attending through Techscaler, if you do not have your own stand, we would appreciate you spending a short period of time at the Techscaler stand during the event. This helps build a visible presence for the companies we support and strengthens how the wider ecosystem engages with what is being built.
Apply to be part of the visiting group
